[0037] To make the technical solution of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, the fabrication process of the SiC VDMOSFET dynamic characteristic enhancement structure with multi-level field junctions specifically includes:

[0039] Step 1: An N-drift layer 6 is formed on the N-substrate layer 5 by epitaxial growth. By epitaxially growing an N-drift layer with precise doping concentration and thickness on the N-type SiC substrate, a high-quality high-voltage bearing region is constructed for the device. The drift layer formed in this step has a uniform doping distribution and excellent crystal quality, which provides an ideal foundation for subsequent ion implantation and terminal structure fabrication, thereby ensuring that the device has the potential for low on-resistance and high breakdown voltage.

[0040] Step 2: P-well layer 9, N-well layer 7, and P+ layer 8 are sequentially formed in N-drift layer 6 by ion implantation, and the implanted ions are activated by high-temperature annealing. Through multi-step ion implantation, P-well, N-well, and P+ contact regions are precisely formed, defining the cell structure and conductive channels of the device. Combined with the high-temperature annealing process, the implanted ions are effectively activated and lattice damage is repaired. This step achieves precise control of the conductive channel and bulk region, providing the device with good threshold voltage stability and reliable conduction characteristics.

[0041] Step three, growing a gate oxide layer on the semiconductor epitaxial layer, and forming a gate oxide field plate 3 through a photoetching and etching process; growing a high-quality gate oxide layer through thermal oxidation and photoetching to form a gate oxide field plate, the gate oxide medium prepared in this step has low interface state density and high breakdown field strength characteristics, the formation of the gate oxide field plate not only provides insulation isolation for the gate, but also lays a foundation for the preparation of subsequent multi-level field plate structures, effectively improving the reliability and stability of the gate.

[0042] Step four, depositing a silicon dioxide layer on the gate oxide field plate 3, and forming a field plate knot 10 through a self-aligned photoetching and etching process, the field plate knot 10 is composed of several silicon dioxide deposition blocks that do not contact each other, and the silicon dioxide deposition block in the middle covers a large range on the gate oxide field plate 3, and the silicon dioxide deposition blocks on both sides cover a small range on the gate oxide field plate 3; using a self-aligned photoetching technology to prepare a silicon dioxide field plate knot with gradient coverage characteristics on the gate oxide field plate, this step realizes accurate control of the size of the field plate, optimizes the electric field distribution through the design of large coverage in the middle and small coverage on both sides, effectively alleviates the electric field concentration at the edge of the gate, and significantly improves the voltage withstand capability and dynamic stability of the device.

[0043] Step five, depositing a polysilicon or metal layer on the field plate knot 10, and forming a gate 2 through photoetching and etching; depositing a conductive layer and photoetching to form a gate electrode, this step realizes good contact and accurate alignment with the field plate structure, and the formed gate has good conductivity and interface characteristics, which not only ensures the gate control capability but also avoids introducing additional parasitic parameters, providing a guarantee for the high-frequency switching performance of the device.

[0044] Step six, forming a contact area of a source 4 in the N well layer 7 and the P+ layer 8 through an ion implantation and annealing process, and forming a contact area of a drain 1 on the back of the N substrate layer 5; forming a source ohmic contact in the N well and the P+ region through selective ion implantation, and simultaneously preparing a drain contact on the back of the substrate, this step realizes the formation of a low-resistance ohmic contact, optimizes the current transmission path of the device, reduces the contact resistance and series resistance, and improves the conduction efficiency and current handling capability of the device.

[0045] Step seven, depositing a metal layer, forming an ohmic contact of the source 4 and the drain 1 through photoetching and etching, and completing the preparation of the device. Through metal deposition and photoetching process, the electrode preparation of the source and the drain is completed, this step forms a low-resistance and reliable metal-semiconductor ohmic contact, which optimizes the distribution characteristics of the current in the horizontal and vertical directions, not only reduces the conduction loss of the device, but also improves the thermal stability and long-term working reliability of the device.

[0046] Example 1

[0047] As Figure 1As shown, the SiC VDMOSFET dynamic characteristic enhancement structure with multi-level field junctions includes several parallel MOS cells. Each MOS cell includes a drain 1, a semiconductor epitaxial layer, a gate 2, a gate oxide field plate 3, and a source 4. The semiconductor epitaxial layer includes an N substrate layer 5, an N drift layer 6, an N well layer 7, a P+ layer 8, and a P well layer 9. The gate oxide field plate 3 is located between the gate 2 and the semiconductor epitaxial layer. A field junction 10 is deposited between the gate oxide field plate 3 and the gate 2. The field junction 10 is composed of several non-contact silicon dioxide deposits. The silicon dioxide deposits in the middle cover a large area on the gate oxide field plate 3, while the silicon dioxide deposits on both sides cover a small area on the gate oxide field plate 3.

[0048] By employing a silicon dioxide deposition block structure with a large central coverage area and small side coverage areas in the field junction 10, the electric field gradient on the gate oxide field plate 3 was optimized using a self-aligned process. The principle is that by adjusting the coverage area of ​​the field junction 10 at different positions, the electric field distribution at the edge of the gate 2 is effectively modulated, thereby suppressing electric field concentration and improving the breakdown voltage and dynamic stability of the device. The advantage is a significant enhancement of the reliability of the VDMOSFET during high-voltage switching.

[0049] Example 2

[0050] like Figure 2 As shown, several non-contacting P-type junction regions 11 are formed inside the N-substrate layer 5 through ion implantation. These P-type junction regions 11 are in 1-ohm contact with the drain. The cross-sectional width of the P-type junction region 11 at the center of a single MOS cell is larger, while the cross-sectional width of the P-type junction region 11 at both sides is smaller.

[0051] A contact P-type junction region 11 with a gradually varying cross-sectional width is formed in the N-substrate layer 5. The structure design, which is wider in the middle and narrower on both sides, makes the depletion region expand more uniformly in both the longitudinal and lateral directions. The principle is to optimize the charge balance by varying the width of the contact P-type junction region 11, thereby reducing the peak electric field on the drain side. The advantage is that it effectively reduces the on-resistance, while improving the device's breakdown voltage and dynamic response speed.

[0052] Example 3

[0053] like Figure 3 As shown, a contact capping layer 12 is formed inside the N substrate layer 5 and above the contact P-type junction region 11 by ion implantation. The contact capping layer 12 is an N-type material with a doping concentration greater than that of the N substrate layer 5 (the contact capping layer 12 is in a state of semi-enclosing the contact P-type junction region 11), and the contact capping layer 12 is in 1-ohm contact with the drain electrode.

[0054] A high-doped N-type contact layer 12 is introduced above the P-type junction region 11, which forms an ohmic contact with the drain 1, and its semi-enclosed structure enhances the contact performance of the junction region and the electrode. The principle is to reduce the contact resistance by high-concentration doping and improve the current spreading. The advantage is to improve the on-state efficiency and thermal stability of the device, which is suitable for high-frequency and high-current application scenarios.

[0055] Embodiment 4

[0056] As shown in Figure 4 , the inside of the N drift layer 6 and below the gate oxide field plate 3 are formed by ion implantation with a plurality of P-type field plate junctions 13 that are not in contact with each other; and the cross-sectional depth of the P-type field plate junction 13 in the middle is larger, and the cross-sectional depth of the P-type field plate junction 13 on both sides is smaller. The P-type junction region 11 also includes a gradual junction region 1101, and the cross-sectional height of the gradual junction region 1101 in the middle of a single MOS cell is lower, and the cross-sectional height of the gradual junction region 1101 on both sides is higher.

[0057] The depth-graded P-type field plate junction 13 is provided below the gate oxide field plate 3, and cooperates with the height-graded junction region 1101 in the P-type junction region 11 to form a multi-dimensional electric field modulation structure. The principle is to realize the sharing of electric field in the vertical and horizontal directions through the coordinated gradient design of junction depth and junction height, and the advantage is to further suppress the current collapse phenomenon in the dynamic switching process, and to improve the high-frequency dynamic characteristics of the device.

[0058] Embodiment 5

[0059] As shown in Figure 5 , the inside of the N drift layer 6 is formed by ion implantation with a plurality of intermediate P-type junction regions 14 that are not in contact with each other, and the cross-sectional width of the intermediate P-type junction region 14 in the middle is large, and the cross-sectional width of the intermediate P-type junction region 14 on both sides is small, and the bottom end of the intermediate P-type junction region 14 is in direct contact with the N substrate layer 5. The inside of the N drift layer 6 and below the intermediate P-type junction region 14 is formed by ion implantation with an intermediate cover layer 15, which is in direct contact with the N substrate layer 5, and the intermediate cover layer 15 is of N-type material with a doping concentration greater than that of the N drift layer 6.

[0060] The intermediate P-type junction region 14 with a wide middle and narrow sides is introduced in the N drift layer 6, and is combined with the highly doped N-type intermediate cover layer 15 to form a composite termination structure. The principle is to build a charge compensation effect through the alternating arrangement of P-type junction regions (intermediate P-type junction regions 14) and N-type cover layers (intermediate cover layers 15), and the advantage is to effectively reduce the resistance of the drift region and improve the overall voltage withstand level and dynamic stability of the device.

[0061] Embodiment 6

[0062] As shown in Figure 6As shown, the inside of the N drift layer 7 is formed with several intermediate P-type junction regions 14 by ion implantation, the cross-sectional width of the intermediate P-type junction regions 14 at the middle is large, the cross-sectional width of the intermediate P-type junction regions 14 at both sides is small, and the bottom end of the intermediate P-type junction regions 14 is in direct contact with the N substrate layer 5. The inside of the N drift layer 6 and above the intermediate P-type junction regions 14 is formed with an intermediate cover layer 15 by ion implantation, the intermediate cover layer 15 is in direct contact with the N substrate layer 5, and the intermediate cover layer 15 is of N type material with a doping concentration greater than that of the N drift layer 6. The inside of the N drift layer 6 and above the intermediate cover layer 15 is formed with an intermediate N layer 16 by ion implantation, and the doping concentration of the intermediate N layer 16 is lower than that of the N drift layer 6.

[0063] The low-doped intermediate N layer 16 is added above the intermediate cover layer 15 to form a three-layer longitudinal doping gradient structure. The principle is to introduce a lightly doped layer on the upper part of the drift region 6 to slow down the rate of change of the electric field and optimize the output capacitance characteristics, and the advantage is to significantly reduce the switching loss and improve the energy efficiency and reliability of the device in high-speed switching applications.
